databse remote connection

Post by alexislalas »

hello.

how do i remotely connect to a database. if its "inside" the server its localhost. how do you do it "outside" the server.

i need something like: localhost/databasename

but its not localhost. also, whats the file extension for the database name? its in mysql.

sorry if i repeated myself.

You can use the servername (database.server.name) or the ip address.
